Mexico City born. California raised. Puesto brings the vibrant soul of CDMX through a Southern California lens-bold, modern Mexican with an edge. Seasonal menus, creative takes, and the best ingredients in the hands of better chefs. Every tortilla starts with organic blue corn, made in-house like it's been since 1200 BC. Puesto is family-founded by the Adler and Lombrozo brothers, first-gen Mexican Americans raised on tamales and tradition. It's a love letter to the flavors they grew up with, reimagined with Mexico City energy and SoCal spirit. Made by food people. For food people.

    Eddie V’s made my wife’s birthday celebration absolutely amazing! We were seated by the window overlooking the ocean, and my wife was so surprised by all the thoughtful details, from the birthday card to the star confetti on our table. Our waiter was fantastic, and they started our evening with Prosecco so we could toast to her birthday, which was such a nice touch! The chef even personally brought out a starter dish that was delicious. We ordered the Soirée three-course dinner with Caesar salads, New York strip steaks, and Bananas Foster for dessert. We also ordered cappuccinos to enjoy with dessert, which were the perfect pairing. Everything from the food to the service and attention to detail was top-notch. What I appreciated most was how special they made my wife feel throughout the evening. It was such a wonderful experience, and I can’t wait to come back to Eddie V’s to celebrate more special moments together!
